You are absolutely wrong about the roman catholic definition baptism... Many non-Catholic baptisms are deemed perfectly valid by the church including those of the Anglican and Lutheran traditions.

I absolutely welcome that correction.

I will amend my statement in this way:

My experience has been that my Baptism, which was performed by an Anglican Priest, is often considered invalid by Roman Catholics.

This leads me to ask, “If the Baptism is considered valid, why can those people not be considered Catholics?”

By no means am I attempting to incite an argument with Roman Catholics. I think by now people know I side with the Roman Catholics more often than not, and consider myself Catholic. I am just curious what you think of this aspect.
